15 Photos Which Prove That Princess Diana’s Life Was far From Easy

«My life is just torture»

During this difficult period, Diana gave many interviews to the press, in which she complained about her fate. So, in 1992, her famous phrase “My life is just torture” hit the British tabloid headlines. Also, the media popularized the photo of the princess in front of the Taj Mahal. This picture had quite a powerful message: a lonely woman visits the monument of love. Diana and Charles would announce their divorce at the end of that year.

It wasn’t easy for Diana to adapt to free life, but she quickly gained confidence

At first, the Princess of Wales took the breakup very hard. Royal sources claimed that she cried a lot and Prince William had to comfort her by putting tissues under the bathroom door, although he, himself, was still a child.

Then Diana pulled herself together and began a new life. She started spending time with her sons in cafes and amusement parks, and she also got into fashion. For her first public appearance after her divorce, Lady Di chose a rather open white dress with a strap around the neck. The outfit was a great success and allowed Diana to gain confidence.

Diana really loved people and earned the title “Queen of People’s Hearts”

After the divorce, Diana did a lot of charity work. She supported people suffering from leprosy, AIDS, she helped homeless and elderly people and became president of a children’s hospital. Quite soon, Diana was in the center of attention again. Working with people became her new calling. Her dream was to become an ambassador of goodwill and use her popularity for the good of humanity.
